Dolphins Get Their Month, Dolphin Awareness Month
American Humane's Dolphin Awareness Month, observed annually in March, is dedicated to raising public awareness about dolphins, their environment, and their challenges. This initiative, spearheaded by various wildlife and conservation organizations, aims to educate people about dolphins' importance in the marine ecosystem and the need to protect them.The purpose of Dolphin Awareness Month is multifaceted:
Education: Increasing public knowledge about dolphin species, their behaviors, and their critical role in marine ecosystems.

Addressing Threats: Bringing attention to the various threats dolphins face, such as habitat destruction, pollution, entanglement in fishing gear, and the impacts of climate change.
Dolphin Awareness Month was created to raise public awareness of these issues and foster a greater appreciation and respect for these intelligent marine mammals.Dolphins face several dangers, including:

Climate Change: Changes in ocean temperatures and currents that can affect their food supply and migration patterns.

There are approximately 40 species of dolphins, categorized into several types, including:
Oceanic Dolphins: The most well-known, including species like the Bottlenose Dolphin, Spinner Dolphin, and Orca or Killer Whale.
River Dolphins: These include the Amazon River Dolphin and the Ganges River Dolphin, which inhabit freshwater rivers.
